ERP Project Management is not similar as managing a large scale IT Project. Because IT project enforces detailed planning, execution of tasks, followed by end–to–end delivery of business functionality. Even though this project methodology faces difficulty when scaled to larger projects, applying it to ERP projects creates further difficulties.
The ERP environment faces constant change and reassessment of organizational processes and technology. The project management methodology used with ERP must provide adaptability and agility to support these evolutionary processes and technologies.
Can enterprise resource planning ever become as flexible as modern business requires? Today ERP applications need to become more responsive to meet changing business requirements. ERP systems are known for their highly integrated nature and proprietary development tools and processes.
The use of agile methodology in the ERP deployment can provide solution for this issue.
